3	----
4	!!Tropes:
5
6	* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Mick himself handwaves his survival from Bishop's booby trap from his years of pyromania.
7	* AdamAndEvePlot: Sara realizes that Bishop adjusted his plans so that he and ''Sara'' would be the last people on Earth.
8	* AlienInvasion: The Zaguron invasion.
9	* AltarTheSpeed: Sara proposes that she and Ava have their wedding right there in 1925 Texas, since they aren't sure if they'll survive the Zaguron invasion.
10	* AnguishedOutburst: Zari is none too pleased to see that John resurrected himself after all the crap he pulled shortly beforehand. He's able to talk her down, though, and her anger gives way to sadness completely.
11	* ArcWords: "We are all connected."
12	* AssholeVictim: The Necrian babies didn't likely realize that Bishop was the one who nearly murdered them, but only ate him because it was the first thing they saw after hatching, as Gary points out.
13	* BackFromTheDead: Constantine, having sold his soul to a demon in Hell.
14	* BattleCouple: Sara and Ava.
15	* TheBigDamnKiss: But of course Ava and Sara get one.
16	* BottleEpisode: Of a sort. Except for a brief scene at past Bishops's lab (which is simply a redressed ''Waverider'' set), the entire episode takes place either on the ''Waverider'' or at Spooner's old house.
17	* BouquetToss: Slightly downplayed. Sara grabs some random flowers from a pot and hands them to Mick, telling him that he just caught the bride's bouquet.
18	* TheBusCameBack: Behrad comes back to the team. Doubles as BackForTheFinale.
19	* ButNowIMustGo:
20	** Mick decides to leave the Legends to be a proper father to his Necrian children.
21	** After being resurrected, Constantine ultimately leaves the Legends to walk another path.
22	* CallBack:
23	** Zari is still really, really pissed at John for what happened the last few episodes. She also recalls John warning that they'd screw it up.
24	** Behrad becomes infected with the same poison Sara had earlier in the season. Knowing there is no antidote, Sara is ready to cut his arm with an axe to stop the spread.
25	** Spooner's ability to transfer meta abilities shows up again.
26	* ChekhovsGun: As a parting gift, John gives Zari an ancient key, telling her that she will figure out on her own what it does.
27	* {{Cliffhanger}}: The gang is about to leave 1925, but they end up stranded in 1925 Texas when the ''Waverider'' is destroyed... by another ''Waverider''!
28	* CommonLawMarriage: The Legends obviously don't have time to actually set up a legal wedding...
29	* ContinuityNod:
30	** Ava and Sara mention the latter's initial marriage proposal many times. Their first meeting is also recalled.
31	** Constantine references the last time he sold his soul to a demon.
32	** At the end of the episode, Sara and Mick reminiscence about how their Season 1 selves would react to their current selves.
33	** Nate and Ava travel to [[Recap/LegendsofTomorrowS3E16IAva Vancouver in 2213]] to find young Bishop working on a model of Ava Prime.
34	* ContinuitySnarl: Bordering on a RunningGag with ''Legends'' finales. The Fountain of Imperium being revived and staying on Earth is supposed to protect Earth from aliens. Even if one assumes ''Series/{{Invasion\|2016}}'' was retconned out by ''Crisis'', that still leaves all the aliens in both ''Series/{{Supergirl\|2015}}'' and ''Series/SupermanAndLois'' that should have been taken care of, including the Kryptonians themselves.
35	* CrazyEnoughToWork: Nate theorizes that Bishop wasn't ''always'' a monster and that his younger self would be able to reverse-engineer his older self's poison to create an antidote. It works.
36	* DealWithTheDevil: John sells out his soul again to come back to life.
37	* DidntSeeThatComing: Since Bishop knows exactly how Sara thinks, Nate proposes the Legends to do the opposite and grab Bishop's younger self to help. When Present!Bishop shows up and finds out what they did, he's actually caught by surprise.
38	* EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion: Inverted, then played straight. The Legends gear up, ready to destroy the dozen or so Zagurons advancing on them. Then, about a hundred of them appear from the clearing and the Legends realize they are way out of their league and spend the rest of the episode barricading themselves inside the house. Then, the Fountain is revived and destroys the Zaguron army instantly.
39	* EatenAlive: Bishop's eventual fate, at the hands of Mick's and Kayla's kids.
40	* EtherealWhiteDress: When John appears in Sara's vision, he's clad entirely in white clothing, including his hair and trenchcoat.
41	* EvilGloating: Bishop leaves behind a gloating video message.
42	* FaceDeathWithDignity: When it seems clear they're all about to die, the Legends decide to huddle around Ava and Sara so they can complete their wedding.
43	* FlashStep: An ability of the Zagurons, allowing them to more easily overwhelm the Legends.
44	* FutureMeScaresMe: Young Bishop is mortified at the monster he becomes in the future. While he ''wants'' to never become like that, the Legends have no choice [[YouCantFightFate but to erase his memory and ensure he goes on that path anyway to preserve the timeline]].
45	* GiveAwayTheBride: Ava asks Gary if he'll walk her down the aisle. The latter is overjoyed.
46	* HeadPet: One Necrian baby comfortably roosts on its father's head.
47	* HoldTheLine:
48	** Nate when the Legends see the Zagurons have landed and are waiting for nightfall to attack. It only works for a short time before they are overwhelmed.
49	** Later pulled by Kayla so the Legends can finish the wedding ceremony. Fortunately, that was all that was needed to get the Fountain back to full power.
50	* IChooseToStay: After Mick convinces her, Kayla finally decides to stay and help the Legends against the Zagurons.
51	* IHatePastMe: Similar to FutureMeScaresMe above, Bishop is outright embarrassed by his young self.
52	* ImmediateSequel: Picks up right after the last episode, with Mick being thrown back by the explosion on the ''Waverider''.
53	* InsufferableGenius: While young Bishop isn't a villain yet, he sure already has a big ego.
54	* ItsAllMyFault: Behrad blames himself for not noticing John's addiction properly.
55	* KarmicDeath: Bishop is EatenAlive by Mick and Kayla's freshly hatched Necrian children, one episode after nearly [[WouldHurtAChild blowing them to smithereens]].
56	* KickTheDog: Bishop interrupts the wedding ceremony to indulge in more EvilGloating at the Legends.
57	* KillerRabbit: The Necrian brood are ''adorable''... and the first thing they do is swarm Bishop and eat him alive.
58	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Unfortunately for young Bishop, the Legends are forced to mindwipe him to ensure that the timeline stays intact, despite his vow to never become like his future self.
59	* LastWishMarriage: Facing certain death, Sara decides to go forward with the wedding before everyone is slaughtered.
60	* LifeOrLimbDecision: Behrad becomes infected with the same poison that killed Sara's original body. Sara prepares to chop Behrad's hand off, reasoning that it's the only way to save him. Luckily, Spooner arrives to transfer Sara's healing ability into Behrad, saving his hand.
61	* MadeOfIron: Mick survives a point-blank explosion with, at best, minor injuries.
62	* MarryForLove: Sara and Ava again.
63	* MushroomSamba: Behrad, and later Sara, eat the Fountain Mushroom and communicate with John. The rest of the gang is weirded out.
64	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: John once more reaffirms his horror about what his deeds have unleashed.
65	* MyGreatestSecondChance:
66	** Mick wants to be a better father to his Necrian children than he was to Lita.
67	** Spooner also insists to her mother to get to safety, as she doesn't plan on losing her again.
68	* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: The Legends make their stand as the alien pods start opening up, but then they realize that there are just too many Zagurons for them to handle and they immediately retreat into the house.
69	* NiceGuy: The past version of Bishop does appear to be a genuinely good person (albeit still a bit insufferable), the polar opposite of what he eventually becomes.
70	* NoBodyLeftBehind: Mick's and Kayla's kids eat Bishop up whole.
71	* OhNoNotAgain: Gideon's reaction when she finally comes back online, only to be immediately knocked off by a pre-recorded message from Bishop.
72	* PostClimaxConfrontation: After the Zaguron horde is finished off, Bishop tries to finish the Legends off himself armed with only a gun. The Necrian hatchlings [[DevouredByTheHorde have other ideas]].
73	* PowersAsPrograms: Spooner's ability allows her to temporarily transfer abilities between people, such as Sara's healing power into Behrad or Nate's Steel ability into Ava.
74	* ThePowerOfLove: After Ava and Sara finish their vows, a powerful wave of energy obliterates all of the Zagurons.
75	* PutOnABus:
76	** Creator/DominicPurcell departs here, leaving Creator/CaityLotz and Creator/AmyPemberton as the final original cast members.
77	** Kayla also departs, presumably to raise the kids with Mick.
78	** Constantine leaves the Legends to find his own path. However, his actor Creator/MattRyan has been confirmed to play a new character next season.
79	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Kayla plans to steal the ''Waverider'' with her kids before the Zaguron invasion hits. Mick convinces her otherwise.
80	* SeasonFinale: Of Season 6.
81	* SequelHook: The ''Waverider'' is destroyed, and Constantine gives Zari a key to something.
82	* SheCleansUpNicely: Kayla really looks smashing in a dress.
83	* ShoutOut: Constantine, [[ItMakesSenseInContext as a mushroom]], beckons for Sara to [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland eat him]].
84	* SmartBomb: Resurrecting the Fountain results in a powerful explosion that disintegrated all the hostile aliens in the surroundings.
85	* SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace: Subverted. Bishop arrives before Nate can officially close the ceremony.
86	* TemptingFate:
87	** Kayla proudly boasts that even if the ''Waverider'' is down, she still has ''her'' time-ship, which is then hijacked by Bishop shortly after.
88	** Ava notes that it's unusual for a storyline of theirs to end on a happy note. Cue the ''Waverider'' being destroyed by another ''Waverider''.
89	* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer shows that both Spooner and Mick Rory have survived, following the UncertainDoom at the end of the previous episode.
90	* VillainBall: Instead of staying in Kayla's ship and killing the Legends with the ship's weaponry, Bishop simply walks up with his rifle and rants long enough for Mick's babies to hatch.
91	* VillainousBreakdown: After the Zaguron invasion is thwarted, Bishop plans on ''killing the entire world population single-handedly''.
92	-->'''Bishop:''' Stupid Zegs and their stupid [[PlotAllergy mushroom allergy]]. Well, if you want something done right, you gotta do it your damn self.\
93	'''Sara Lance:''' Give it up, Bishop. You lost.\
94	'''Bishop:''' [[BigNever Never!]]\
95	'''Sara Lance:''' I'll give you one last chance to leave and never come back. I found your younger self once, and I'll do it again, [[RetGone end you]] before you become the ''sad'', little, deranged man you are now.\
96	'''Bishop:''' I will blast each and every human on this stupid planet to bits, starting with all of you. I don't care how long it takes. [[AdamAndEvePlot You and I]] [[{{Yandere}} will be the only two left]].
97	* WeddingFinale: Sara and Ava finally get married in the finale of Season 6.
98	* WhamShot: At the end of the episode, the ''Waverider'' is blown up by what appears to be another version of the ''Waverider''.
99	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Cruz house isn't ''that'' far from town, but not a line is uttered about whether the rest of the town noticed the aliens or if the rest of the horde had some snacks on the way to hunt the Legends.
100	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Gary gives Ava a much-needed pep talk when she struggles to write her vows.
101	* YouWouldntShootMe: Mick correctly calls Kayla out when she threatens to kill him as he tries to stop her from jumping ship with the ''Waverider''.
